Having a great theme to work with does not insure the success of a play for either the playwright or the actors. On the contrary, the playwright is taking a bigger chance when he delves into the fundamentals of life—and even makes bold to suggest what the next life is like—than when he merely sets out to entertain. And if the playwright does succeed in dis tilling some great truth into dramatic form, the director and actors are biting off a big mouthful when they produce such, a play. Personally we are grateful to Thornton Wilder for taking this chance and writing “Our Town”. We are also grateful to the Drama Workshop for taking the risk of producing Wilder’s tremen dous work. Together they have given us an experience we shall never forget. There is nothing more that a reviewer can say about “Our Town”. Any observation about the play itself would be irrele vant in light of the great judge ment of the American people.. We will say that the staff and cast of “Our Town'’ did not let the author down in their presentation of the play last Friday and Saturday. The spirit of the play was inter preted with real understand ing not only by the director and stage manager but by the entire cast of characters. W. C. “Mutt” Burton was as splendid as we expected him to be as stage manager. He set the pace of the play with com plete confidence and a sensa tive appreciation of the deep values of the play. It is hard to pick one person as doing the outstanding job in building his character.

Exum Lewis as Mrs. ' Gibbs, Pat Clark as Mrs. Webb and Sharron Frye as Emily Webb. TRe important aspects of the play were all well handled but few minor false notes could be pointed out. Surely, no one likes coffee as sweet as Mr.' Webb did. How about it? Five spoon fuls of sugar in one cup of coffee! And Mrs. Webb was a little too busy during the break fast scene. We found ourselves watching her break eggs into a skillet so realistically that we forgot about the real action taking place at the time. And then deciding that by the time they were served the eggs were as cold as a DAR’s handshake! One more littlg item gets our gripes pretty well aired. Gloria Bassett’s voice as the dead woman sounded too much like a voice from the grave to main tain the atmosphere created by ■the quiet normal sounding voi ces of all the other dead per sons. - , The few distracting elements pointed out here were not eno ugh'to classify the play as any thing less than superb as stag ed by the Drama Workshop. Generally" speaking all the act ing was excellent. The play was a complete success in that it succeeded in providing a deep, meaningful emotional ex perience for those who attended. 11 "" r jhe total number of victims of arthritis and related rheumatic dis eases is greater than the combined populations of Chicago and Los An geles . and the sufferers sustain a personal wage loss of an *stim»*-d sl*4 billion a year.
